Take a look into Night-Scene in Figueres

By Salvador Dali, a surrealist artist.

This Painting was produced in 1921. A gouache on board, with its dimensions of 54.9 by 74.1 cm.

This is a painting that i believe is enigmatic. It tells an exciting tale manufactured up with distinct tones of blue, with some yellow and brown to distinguish each individual matter. Dali, may perhaps have been inspired by Picasso’s Blue Period from 1901-1904, with the blues current in his paintings.

The story I interpret right here is that of a lonely musician entertaining people in a cafe. The musician is actively playing a cello, with his eyes closed, disregarding the viewers, as he is swept away with the rhythms of his song. Not a care in the earth. His expression is that of a guy concentrated with enjoying his instrument but also looking unfortunate or lonely. which is reflected with the portray staying in shades of blue. on the other hand, the viewers are captured with his music, hunting at him with admiration. Specifically the persons at the front tables, halting what they are performing, as they are enamoured by him, pulled into a meditative state. wholly unaware of the musician disappointment/loneliness, via no fault of their have. While the girl to the musicians still left, is smiling or laughing, experiencing whomever is her companion. Yet again likely unaware of the musician. As she is chatting to her companion, owning a exciting time.

This painting also reminds me of one more painting, which has the use of blue tones. Salvador Dali may well have been inspired by him. This portray is known as Aged guitarist by Pablo Picasso. Painted in 1903. It truly is an oil on panel, with the dimensions of 1.23 m by 83cm.

This was painted during Picasso’s Blue Interval. This was the period when Picasso’s finest good friend experienced died, so he was depressed and dwelling in poverty.

It has heaps of monochromatic, blue tones that is rendered with a hotter brown colour. When seeking at it the viewer can come to feel a feeling of sorrow and grief for the previous man as he appears to be like lonely reflected in the blue tones and how the gentleman is sitting. The determine curls and huddled all over the guitar producing him glimpse cramped inside of the frame. The guitar that the inadequate gentleman is holding can counsel the only hope in his lifestyle or his way of earning income busking on the streets of Barcelona.
